24 A TREATISE ON THE CONNECTION OF 



Different kinds of grain contain these two substances 

 in different proportions; and the same sort of grain 

 contains them in different quantities, according to the 

 climate, season, and soiL 



Good and well raised bread depends on flour contain- 

 ing a due admixture of these two substances. Hence, bv 

 mixing the flour of cfifferent sorts of wheat, better bread 

 may at times be produced than from one sort only. E^c- 

 tensive benefits may also accrue to the jirocesses of 

 brewing, distilling, and making of vinegar, by a mixture 

 of the different sorts of grain: to that of distilling, a 

 further advantage would be derived by a mixture of dif- 

 ferent roots with the grain ; such as potatoes, parsnips, 

 carrots, &c. Sec. if prepared in a proper manner. 



Good wheat generally contains two fifths of animalized 

 matter, and three fifths of starch. The oeconomical 

 management of the manufa(5ture of this article is capa- 

 ble of considerable improvement.
